Europe Ecology
Political party in France
Europe Ecology (French: Europe Écologie) is a green electoral coalition of political parties in France created for the 2009 European elections composed of The Greens and other ecologists and regionalists. This alliance was renewed for the European Parliament election in 2014 and the 2024 European Parliament election.
The coalition was launched on 20 October 2008 with the support of the European Green Party and Daniel Cohn-Bendit, a Franco-German MEP previously representing the Alliance '90/The Greens of Germany, but who ran in France in 2009. Since its creation, the coalition received the support of Cécile Duflot, José Bové and Dominique Voynet amongst others.
After winning a record 16.28% of the vote in the 2009 European elections, the coalition maintained itself to participate in the 2010 regional elections.
In November 2010, the alliance was transformed into a political party under the name Europe Ecology – The Greens (EELV).
